.LacyMB reviews the second installment of tashadrinkstea's Burning Kingdoms trilogy, TheOleanderSword, a complex, immersive follow-up that’s packed with surprises and sacrifices:
good series opener, it’s fairly easy to start wondering if the quality of that first book was somehow a fluke. To question whether there’s any chance that its sequel could ever live up to the heights of its predecessor, or if it’s doomed to always pale in comparison. Someone coined the term “sophomore slump” for a reason, after all, and most of us who read a lot of fantasy can easily name more than one series whose middle installment was….
Princess Malini, having now declared herself Empress of Parijatdvipa, is marching to war against her fanatical brother Chandra, with a ragtag coalition held together by little more than her own will. Struggling to maintain control over a group of generals who doubt her every move and faced with her brother’s uncomfortably powerful new magical weapon, she seeks out one of her own in the form of the lover she left behind.
Malina and Priya’s relationship remains the emotional center of this story, as both women furiously push back against the circumstances in which they find themselves and dream of a better future where others like them won’t have to fight quite so hard for their due.
